Minor in Music

Taylor University Fort Wayne can offer you some options in connection with majors such as pastoral ministries, youth ministries or marketing communication or other business majors. The music minor is designed to prepare you for service in music in combination with your major area.

This program is designed for those who plan to augment their non-music major with a music minor and emphasis in music ministry or recording. Students choosing this minor should have some experience in piano or guitar.

With 20-21 hours in the minor, a core of eleven hours and an emphasis in music ministry or recording is offered. Details regarding courses are listed below.
